2nd round QBs rarely, rarely ever work out. The only one I can think of is Brees, and he had question marks like Russell Wilson. Why is this? QB is the most important position on the field. If a guy has the look of a solid QB, he goes in the 1st round.

So if there is a guy out there, we need to take him with the 1st overall pick.

A bit weird if you ask me. I did some digging and only three qbs taken in the second round of the last 3 drafts.

Osweiler-2012
Kaepernick and daulton-2011
None in 2010

Go back three more and i think it's only four but of those four I think only chad henne still plays. Percentage wise you would be correct but the sample size is pretty small.

Is it just 2nd rounders or non 1st rounders in general?

Here is a list of QB's with multiple Superbowl starts picked at or after the 2nd round:

Just a list, but there are some pretty good qb's that were not a first round pick.

That's fine and all, but the only active player on that list is Tom Brady who was drafted 12 years ago. Since then there has been much more emphasis placed on the QB position as the league has gotten ridiculously pass happy.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying that recent history would tell us that all of the good QBs are going to get scooped up in the 1st round (Russell Wilson being one of the few exceptions).

People's Exhibit A:

2011 draft -- Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder.

It's going to come down to who Andy Reid likes best when the combine and the individual workouts are said and done & whether or not he feels he needs to stay put and pull the trigger on his guy or maybe he has two guys neck & neck and he feels he can trade down a few slots and get one of those guys. Time will tell.

I see what you are saying. But there are a lot of prolific passers on that list.

At this point I'd almost rather use our picks for other areas of need, and draft our qbotf next year when hopefully the qb class is better. Pick up a veteran (maybe Hasselbeck) and a second stringer to get through 2013. At this point I'm not sold on any of the qbs coming out. But then again I'm no expert, or scout.

And ouch, did you HAVE to bring up Blackledge??
